PROAKTİF KİŞİLİĞİN DÖNÜŞÜMCÜ LİDERLİKTEKİ ROLÜ

Abstract

Örgütlerde insan faktörünün önemi teknolojinin de etkisiyle marjinalleşerek artmakta ve yöneticilerin sadece rollerinin gerektirdiği şeyleri yapmak yerine daha gelişmiş davranış kalıplarını göstermeleri beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada Hakkâri’de görev yapan kamu kurumu yöneticilerinin proaktif kişilik özelliklerinin dönüşümcü liderlik özellikleri üzerindeki rolü araştırılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler Hakkâri’de görev yapan kurum yöneticilerinden yüz yüze görüşmeler yapılarak elde edilmiştir. Yapılan görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler nitel veri analizi programında analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda, görüşülen kurum yöneticileri proaktif kişiliklerinin daha çok mesleki ve kurumsal gelişim boyutunda kendini gösterdiğini; niteliksel ya da fiziksel değişim gerçekleştirmede proaktif davrandıklarını ifade etmişlerdir. Ayrıca kurum yöneticilerinin çalışanları karar verme sürecine dâhil ederek ilham kaynağı oldukları, sahada bulunarak çalışanlara rol model oldukları, biz bilinci olgusunu vurgulayarak takım ruhunu geliştirdikleri, kişisel ihtiyaçlara duyarlı davranarak bireyselleştirilmiş ilgi gösterdikleri ve teşvik etme boyutlarında dönüşümcü liderlik özellikleri sergiledikleri tespit edilmiştir. Son olarak görüşülen kurum yöneticilerinin genel olarak “biz” ve “bizim” kelimelerini kullandıkları ortaya çıkmıştır.

THE ROLE OF PROACTIVE PERSONALITY IN TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

Abstract

The importance of the human factor in organizations is increasing by being marginalized with the effect of technology, and managers are expected to show more advanced behavior patterns instead of just doing what their roles require. In this study, the role of proactive personality traits of public institution managers working in Hakkâri on transformational leadership traits was researched. The data gathered in this research were obtained by conducting face-to-face interviews with the managers of the institutions working in Hakkari. Later on the data were analyzed in the qualitative data analysis program. As a result of the analysis, the interviewed corporate executives stated that their proactive personalities mostly manifest themselves in the professional and institutional development dimension; stated that they acted proactively in realizing qualitative or physical change. In addition, it has been determined that corporate managers are a source of inspiration by including their employees in the decision-making process, they are role models for the employees by being in the field, they develop team spirit by emphasizing the concept of us consciousness, they show individualized attention by being sensitive to personal needs, and they display transformational leadership characteristics in the dimensions of encouragement. Finally, it was revealed that the managers of the institutions interviewed generally use the words "we" and "our".
